CBT is an active therapy with the therapist teaching the participant to record and make sense of their own experiences and teaching them to exercise more control via exercises in sessions and planned activities between sessions.
Learning about how we generate problems for ourselves is often beneficial in itself. With CBT it is taken further so that participants learn to manage themselves more effectively so they become less
likely to get into difficulties in the first place.
Patterns of problems where we repeatedly find ourselves in personal difficulty can be amenable to CBT. If we repeatedly have problems with our relationships, our emotions, habits of behaviour, or notice signs of stress in our bodies, then CBT might be helpful.
Examples of concerns to work on with CBT include; stress, anxiety, tension, depression, low self esteem, anger, compulsion, phobias, insomnia, relationship problems, persistent trauma reactions, PTSD.
Sessions are normally arranged weekly and last an hour.
